Dave Rubin critiques Joe Biden's administration as "inept," highlighting a $5.8 trillion budget where the word "equity" appears over 100 times, which he argues contradicts American values. He contrasts OMB Director Neera Tanden's reliance on outdated inflation data with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's supply chain improvements and mocks Biden's booster shot reception as theatrical theater. Ultimately, Rubin suggests these policies signal a dangerous drift away from individual rights, urging listeners to support his book "Don't Burn This Country" before the nation faces irreversible damage.

We also recognize, just as it has been in the United States for Jamaica, one of the issues that has been presented as an issue that is economic in the way of its impact has been the pandemic.
So to that end, we are announcing today also that we will assist Jamaica in COVID recovery by assisting in terms of the recovery efforts in Jamaica that have been essential to, I believe, what is necessary to strengthen not only the issue of public health, but also the economy.

I personally believe that U.S.
Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps, and I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S.
should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future.
Today is March 31st, the last day in March in the year 2022.

We have a jam packed program for you.
Saw a lot of messages yesterday.
People said, Dave, you're a little more fired up than usual.
We come to you for your calm, cool, collected assessment of the news.
But yesterday, the hands were banging on the table, the cursing, the emoting.
Well, I'm going to see if I can clean it up today.
But we are going to talk about how wokeism and our inept government is not only destroying everything, but they are telling us what their next moves are.
That's sort of the next version of all of this.
They actually, if you are paying attention, they are giving us enough of a trail of crumbs to see where they are leading us.
And you just have to listen enough and pay just enough attention to know.
And then once you know, Where they're leading us.
Maybe you can do a couple things to live a better life or not be so affected by these lunatics.
Real quick, guys, I do want to remind you that Don't Burn This Country is coming out on April 12th.
You can pick up a copy at DaveRubin.com slash book.
And if you order it now, it will be delivered to you on the 12th.
We got an audiobook.
I read it myself.
It's fun.
You're going to dig it.
We got a regular book.

I'm very, very excited about that.
Douglas will be joining me in San Jose on May 15th.
Oh, and one other thing.
This is mostly for the Rubin Report Locals community member people.
We are Doing the Q&A that I posted this morning will be tomorrow's show, not today.
Today we've got a normal narrative show.
The reason for that is I have to get out of here after the show today.
I am hosting a... I'm the emcee!
Actually, of the the Big Prager U Gala this evening.
And I'm going to be on stage with with Dennis Prager, my friend Dennis Prager.
And you're not going to believe it.
This guy, Ron DeSantis.
Have you heard about this guy?
He's the governor here in Florida.
And I'm going to be bringing them on stage.
And, you know, we're going to do a little talk and yada, yada, yada.
So I'm staying staying over for the night so I can do some things tomorrow.
You can still get questions in right now at ReubenReport.Locals.com.
OK, let's do a show.
Joe Biden, the elderly man pretending to be the president of the United States, I believe, is intentionally destroying the country.
I don't know if it's his intentions because I don't think he's in charge, but someone around him has a whole bunch of plans and they're awful plans and they are pretty much wrecking everything culturally, fiscally, borders.
The whole shebang.
We've got some info here from the Daily Wire on Biden's new budget, and it is quite bananas.
Here we go.
President Joe Biden's newly released $5.8 trillion budget for fiscal year 2023 refers to equity
or uses synonymous terms over 100 times as his administration continues to push an agenda
critics say is anything but moderate.
The plan comes out on Monday.
It seeks to advance equity in dozens of government agencies, like by appropriating 48 million
for a more equitable national park system.
Similarly, the budget would appropriate $2.6 billion to the Department of State to advance gender equity
and 1.5 billion to the Environmental Protection Agency to advance racial equity
and secure environmental justice for communities.
Biden's budget aims to embed equity as a priority across the federal government in a systemic fashion to address barriers to opportunity for Americans.
As the Daily Wire reported on Tuesday, the budget notably earmarks more than $11 billion for climate spending in other countries.
In total, the White House is calling for $44.9 billion to be allocated toward tackling the
climate crisis, which would be a $16.7 billion increase from 2021 climate spending.
Biden's proposal also allocates $20 million to the Department of Transportation to promote
equity and inclusion and derail against the effects of structural obstacles to building
wealth.
There's also $400 million earmarked for federal science and technology programs so they can
make use of scientific and technological innovation to advance equitable outcomes.
The proposal comes amid a 40-year high inflation that Americans are particularly concerned
about.
So do you get it?
Do you get it how wokeism has infected the system wholly?
And once it is in a system, the system is pretty much done.
And this is, as I always say, where you have to give the devil his due.
You've got to give these guys and these bad ideas credit in that they got in and they
have wrought destruction across the board.
The idea that we would be caring about equity in the United States is actually counter-intuitive.
to American values. We should be caring about equality, equality of opportunity. That's it.
Equity is that you're going to have to take some people down. Equity is not about bringing people
up. It really is not. That's how it's sold. But really what it's about is can we punish
certain people so that it can seem that everyone will be the same? A very simple example of this
that you all know is what happened at Harvard over the last couple of years, where they felt,
in the name of diversity and tolerance, that they had too many Asian students.
So what did they do?
They started punishing young Asian students who worked very hard, who in many cases came from first or second generation immigrant families and no one was given anything, whether they were Chinese or Japanese or Korean or whatever it might be.
They punished those random 17 year old kids so they said we could have more black students or brown students or whatever it might be.
Nobody is against having black or brown students at Harvard, obviously, but they've decided that equity We should balance out these numbers based on immutable
characteristics and based on gender and everything else, that that is the most important
thing.
It is counter to capitalism, it's counter to competition, it's counter to individual
rights, it's counter to our constitution, our bill of rights, and all of that stuff.
But these people don't care about that because they don't even care about basic math.
Here's Biden's OMB director admitting that there's actually no data to support the inflation situation that they're basically running the numbers on this bill with.
And what I was going to say is, to get a budget to you to start this lovely dialogue, we locked those inflation and interest rates numbers in November.
And inflation has absolutely changed since that happened.
You mean you locked in the numbers back in November when inflation wasn't nearly as bad as it is now, and you're just putting out a budget not based on anything that's happening now.
We are now basically at the end of March, one day away from April, but you're locking in the numbers back in November.
Got it.
So you just made up The numbers is what you're trying to say, lady.
Well, you're not going to believe this.
We have the Internet here over at the Rubin Report.
We have some data on U.S.
inflation.
Here you go.
The annual inflation rate for the United States is 7.9 percent for the 12 months ending in February of 2022.
I don't know why she didn't look at those numbers, which is the highest since January 1982, after rising 7.5 percent previously, according to U.S.
Labor Department data published March 10th.
And of course, we all know about the inflation situation.
We've been talking about it here.
You guys know it.
You know it when you go to the store and you see the crazy prices on everything.
And one thing that's extremely obvious is gas prices.
So gas prices right now are completely bananas.
They have settled a little bit from where they were a few weeks ago.
But right now, today's average gallon of gas is $4.23.
Last month it was $3.61.
That's a pretty significant increase.
Last year at this time it was $2.87.
The highest that it got was just a couple weeks ago.
That was on March 11, 2022, where it was $4.33.
was on March 11th, 2022, where it was $4.33.
Now, you know, we can look at this and go, oh, this is bad news.
How did this happen?
Are they are they trying to help?
Is anyone trying to help?
Or I think we can take a more obvious approach, which is that they want gas prices to be high because they want to get us off.
gas and fossil fuels and that their general ineptitude related to all of
these things is what is causing supply chain stuff. It is what's causing
inflation and the fact that when you go to the store it takes much longer to get
products as someone that just moved into a house here in Florida and by the way
things are significantly better.
Supply chain.
in Florida because DeSantis is doing all sorts of stuff to make sure the supply chain can move as fast as possible.
But it's not like Florida has everything in Florida.
You need things from other states as well.
And that reminds me of that orange guy that I often talk about because he just did an interview
and he brought up that a lot of this stuff wasn't happening under him.
unidentified
We would have never been talking, I'll give you an example, supply chain.
We don't really know anything about inflation or budgets.
We forget to carry the one, et cetera, et cetera.
If we just had more of your money, we could protect you from COVID because we've done so well at it.
And even though we're having a little lull in COVID right now for the new season of war over in Eastern Europe, they're obviously telling us that COVID is coming back.
We got more.
But before I get to that, I want to talk to you guys about Startmail.
You ever wonder how big tech knows so much about you?
Three words.
Three words.
Free email services.
When you click accept on those terms and conditions, you're giving that free email provider the go ahead to scan and analyze your email.
Free email services are data hoarders.
If you're done letting big tech make billions by selling your info in your email, I suggest switching to Startmail.
Startmail keeps your email private, period.
every email can be encrypted, even if the recipient doesn't use encryption.
When you delete an email, it's gone forever, and Startmail uses their own servers, not Amazon,
which means they can't be put out of business.
If you're already dropping big data hoarders like Facebook and jumping onto less censored platforms,
then right now is the perfect time to switch to Startmail.
Switching to Startmail is seamless too.
You can easily transfer all your current email data so there's no starting from scratch.
Startmail is backed by the most stringent privacy laws in the world.
You get unlimited anonymous aliases so when you're giving your email to a company but you want to protect your identity, Startmail can generate a shareable alias email so people can't sell your info.
And they can be deleted at any time.
I keep saying the way forward is to build competitive businesses that support our privacy values, which is why I value the service Startmail provides.
Your cybersecurity has never been more at risk.
Email snoops and scammers are taking advantage of the pandemic as phishing has skyrocketed in the last year.
That's phishing PH, not the other kind.
Keep your private information private with Startmail.
Sign up today and you'll get 50% off your first year.
Go to startmail.com slash Reuben.
That's start with the T-S-T-A-R-T mail.com slash Reuben for 50% off your first year.
Startmail.com slash Reuben.
And now back to me.
All right.
So, uh, they're dropping some hints.
They're dropping some hints.
COVID's coming back.
They maybe need to keep us distracted and keep us fearful and all of that stuff because that's all they got.
Here's Joe Biden talking about why he needs more of your money too.
And what he means by that is we need to take more money from you so we can use it for our stuff.
And it's very odd that he says we're not going to have the money for it unless you do what we want, because this is the same guy in the same administration that believes that you can just endlessly print money.
If I had a printing machine downstairs and could endlessly print money, I would be buying all sorts of things all day long because there would be no reason not to.
That's what this government thinks.
But the more that it does that, it causes inflation to go up.
So the idea that he's using some basic economic theory like, oh, we're not going to have money.
Uh, is a little bizarre because you also believe that you can print the hell out of money.
Uh, but as this COVID comeback continues, Lord, uh, here's Biden.
This is the most extraordinary.
I think this is the most extraordinary video we're going to show you today.
Here's Biden pushing for monoclonal treatments, the same monoclonal treatments that he stopped Florida from doing because they were doing it for a year.
And then he forced the federal government to move on the States and stop them from doing it.
The federal government moved on Florida to stop Florida from using monoclonal treatment.
As some of you may remember, right when we got down here to Florida in December, a little bit before Christmas, that's when Omicron was going crazy.
David and I both got COVID and we immediately, within the hour, got monoclonal treatment.
here in Florida. I then was sick for about three days. I had leg aches. That's it. David actually
was a little bit more sick. We're both unvaccinated. That was our own personal choice,
but obviously we're fine now. But the point is that the administration, which was railing
against monoclonal treatments, which was completely pushing for vaccine mandates,
even as the evidence was coming out that the vaccines were not working as promised.
Now it's about monoclonal treatment.
And if he just had more money from Congress, which means your money, then we would have more of the treatment that he didn't want people getting a few months ago.
It is true, he did send every American two COVID tests.
Remember that?
After the State of the Union, you could get two COVID tests.
Made in China.
That's the thing.
We have them downstairs.
Made in China.
You know, because, yeah, you get it.
You get it.
This idea that COVID has controlled our lives.
Well, I get it.
If you live in a blue state, in a blue city, and you're surrounded by a bunch of paranoid lunatics who want to wrap themselves up in saran wrap and never go out and all of those things, then I suppose it has controlled your life.
I live in a free state called Florida where COVID has had no bearing on anything that I can see here at all.
Occasionally you do see some people wearing masks and I don't begrudge anyone that takes any precaution that they wish to.
But things are exploding down here in the best sense of it.
Economically, culturally, politically, it's all happening.
And it just is a matter of not letting, it's not that COVID controlled people's lives, it's that the government Controlled people's lives.
It's that you, you buffoon Joe Biden, and the evil... Taking out money.
The evil Gavin Newsom of California.
Someone's getting cash at the end of the year to move to Florida.
It's that you people control people's lives.
It has absolutely nothing to do with COVID controlling people's lives.
But then Joe Biden, who does this all on a stage, which is very weird, he got his fourth shot.
That is a sound stage with lights like I have in this studio.
It's a studio.
He even says, why am I doing this in a studio, basically in front of people?
He doesn't know what he's doing.
He's obviously not in charge.
They're injecting the man right in front of us.
It's like, I think that was pretty much the plot of the G.I.
Joe movie where they're injecting the president with something.
It's like, what the high hell is going on here?
I mean, really, really?
Like, am I being over the top here?
But is anyone watching that and feeling confident about any of this?
So that was his second booster shot, which is why I said it was his fourth shot, because you get the shot, then you get the booster, you get the shot, and then you get the booster.
So they're just injecting the president with stuff.
Why the woman next to him is wearing a mask, I don't know.
Why is she wearing a mask, right?
She's obviously vaxxed and boosted and everything else.
And let's not forget, only a few weeks ago, he was with all the other geriatric people At the State of the Union and they were rubbing heads and sniffing hair and everything else.
Maybe Fauci could explain some of this to me, because he's back, baby.
Remember, he took off for like three weeks.
We didn't know where he was while we were doing the war thing.
Well, now Fauci is back and he's thinking about locking you down again.
Well, I mean, it is not at all surprising that there's a research lab in there.
The Chinese were trying to figure out and did successfully figure out what the original etiology was of SARS-CoV-1.
And the very fact that we did have a SARS-CoV-1 made it very, very clear that there would be a possibility that we would have another pandemic outbreak from the animal-human interface.
You mean the thing that we've all been saying for two years?
The thing that Rand Paul was going on and on about in that Senate hearing when you got very indignant?
You mean the place where they're researching the stuff and then the thing leaks out and it's in the city that the lab's named after?
Lordy, lordy, these people are ridiculous.
Anyway, what's good about all of this, of course, is that people just are not paying attention as much.
And I don't think that if they came in and they decided to lock everybody down, yes, there would be a whole slew of people who would say, thank you, sir.
May I have another?
And they would gladly go into their basements and drink all day and watch porn all day and whatever.
Like there's a certain set of people that would love To just live on the government dole, and that's why the government wants to break people, because then you're just cogs in the machine, and you'll never actualize as a human being.
That's what a machine would want.
You're not an individual, you're just a piece of something.
That's it.
Right?
But enough people are waking up.
I think a ton of people are waking up.
I think tons of people no longer believe the lies of these people.
I think a ton of people will not comply if they tried to, and I think there are places Once again, Florida would be ground zero for this.
That simply will not play along.
And, you know, if you live in, say, California, you live in a very different country than here in Florida.
And I will throw in another $5 into the Leave Cali fund.
Finally, we have Chuck Todd.
Chuck Todd is a journalist over at NBC News, and as you can see, even he's getting very concerned about how bad it's looking for the Democrats.
Let's just go on the assumption that those numbers are roughly right or trustworthy, etc, etc.
He obviously feels those are not a good time.
This is a lot of trouble because it's his guys.
It's his administration.
It's his machine.
So they they're telling you what they are.
Do you think if it had been reversed and it looked like Democrats were gonna sweep and crush and all of the stuff was gonna happen and blue wave and everything else, do you think he would end it by like, oh shit man, we're screwed?
Pretty sure he wouldn't.
in case you didn't see what I was doing there.
We got some comments from the locals community.
Peter says, "All my savings go to gold, silver, and crypto.
"The euro is dropping so fast."
Yeah, look, we've got some money in, we've got a little bit of gold,
we've got a little bit in crypto, and I think everyone should diversify.
You know, I'm a big believer, actually this is a portion of the new book,
I'm a big believer in buying things.
Like, buy real estate while you can.
You know, physical things are real and physical, and yes, you should, I'm not a financial advisor, obviously,
and I have some money in retirement accounts and that sort of thing,
but it feels like all of that stuff feels very uneasy right now, doesn't it?
And it's like a house is a house, and you can live in it.
Owning a plot of land is there, and it's yours.
until the government comes in with eminent domain. But like, get stuff. I really just believe in
physical things. That's my that's my own personal take on this stuff. And it's worked out fairly
well for me. Jumping Jeff says based on his behavior, I think they are giving him heroin.
Ah, that's I would say it's as likely as anything else that they're giving Joe Biden heroin.
Or you know what it reminded me of?
That episode of The Simpsons when Mr. Burns, you find out that he goes to this like scientific lab somewhere where they inject him with all these things and that's what's keeping him alive because technically he should be dead.
He has every disease known to man and that they are all in perfect harmony.
But if one gets out of whack, he'll die immediately and they show Him getting ejected and his arm is so frail and weak that the needle goes right through it.
Like, that's pretty much what we just saw right there.
Man for Cars says, just put my Disney stock up for sale.
Don't have much time to go.
Yeah, you saw, I canceled my Disney Plus account yesterday.
I think the only way we can move past this stuff, and this really is gonna be the driver for me personally and this show going forward, is yeah, we can talk about them and we can make fun of them and we can expose them and all that, but what our real energy Every single one of us, our real energy should be on building new things and promoting good people and finding alternative routes off their endless descent into hell.
By the way, the Daily Wire yesterday announced that they're putting a hundred million dollars into kids programming to counter what's going on with Disney.
And it's like, that's building new things.
When I built Locals a couple of years ago, it was because I saw that big tech was a real problem.
So I built something new.
And then when Rumble came along, Chris over at Rumble had been building Rumble for years.
And we decided to merge the companies together to build something new.
So we have some avenues, some ways and off ramps to get off all of this lunacy.
All right, right after this, guys, I will be taping tomorrow's Q&A because I'm heading out to this PragerU gala with Dennis Prager, obviously, and Governor Ron DeSantis.
